air cooled blast furnace slag is a by product made of gradually air cooled molten blast furnace slag, and is often stored in stockpiles near the iron mills and usually occupy a wide area around the iron mills. from this perspective the further use of these materials can have its own merits. air cooled blast furnace slag can be used in asphalt mixtures because of their proper frictional properti...

This paper aims at bringing a literature review on the uses and properties of popular industrial and mineral byproduct slag. At the present, most industrial slags are being used without taking full advantage of their properties or disposed rather than used. The use of slag in replacing Portland cement by GGBFS is not very common. The traditional way to utilize metallurgical slags in cementing m...

in this study, slag penetration into a magnesia refractory monolithic was investigated by the crucible test method. a synthetic calcium aluminate slag system has been used to study commercial magnesia mix refractory for 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 hours at 1450°c and 1600°c. it has been shown that the penetration rate is controlled by a diffusion mechanism at 1450°c. in this case, capillaries are the ...

Metallurgical slag, including ferrochrome slag is internationally recognized as suitable material for use in road construction and as aggregate for concrete (Rossouw et al. 1981, Lind et al. 2001). Contrary to international practice, metallurgical slag – including ferrochrome slagis classified as hazardous waste that must be de-listed before use in other applications (DWAF 1998). Having adopted...

The poor abrasion resistance of recycled aggregate pervious concrete (RAPC) limits its application. Granulated blast furnace slag (GBFS) and copper (CS) were used as mineral admixtures to replace cement in RAPC for improving the resistance. At 10% GBFS replacement level, 5% 25% CS was added respectively, which reduced consumption cement. effects on paste fluidity, porosity, permeability, compre...

Batch experiments were conducted to evaluate the ability of steel slag in removing manganese from aqueous solution. Several variables had been setup to evaluate the performance of steel slag to remove manganese from aqueous solution in different experimental condition. The variables include contact time, size, dosage, pH and initial concentration of manganese. The equilibrium contact time was a...

Microstructural and mechanical properties of alkali activated binders based on blends of Colombian granulated blast furnace slag (GBFS) and fly ash (FA) were investigated. The synthesis of alkali activated binders was conducted at 85 °C for 24 h with different slag/fly ash ratios (100:0, 80:20, 60:40, 40:60, 20:80, and 0:100). Mineralogical and microstructural characterization was carried out b...
